Brent,
The surge protector looks OK. You do not really need it with the genny - and it won't offer protection unless you are grounded, but it won't hurt to have it onboard. According to the specs:
UL 1449 Clamping Volts: 130 VAC (L-G), 260 VAC (L-L)
Install the device inside the RV - preferably at the main circuit breaker. Select the 130 volt option and wire between the BLACK wire and the grounding wire (bare or green). Again, when you are not plugged into shore power you will not have a ground unless you create one by attaching the frame of the genny/RV to a good earth ground via a grounding rod. An earth ground should be present for the device to work properly.
